Welcome to week fifty of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop, the last one for the year before we start again next Wednesday night with our 2024-25 blog hop!
Tahitian Tide, one of the 2022-24 InColors is retiring on 31st April. I’ve paired it with Pumpkin Pie and used the adorable Birds Eye View stamp set (thankfully, this set is carrying over) to make two cards for this week.
As the Birds Eye View stamp set does not have any sentiments I’ve used sentiments from the Happy Labels stamp set. This stamp set is retiring on 31st April and it is massively reduced from $42 to $16.80 – well worth snapping up at this price!
I didn’t have any Tahitian Tide DSP left so I used my Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends to colour black and white patterns from both the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.
Card one features the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper coloured with the dark Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and the spotted Pumpkin Pie design from the Brights Designer Series Paper.
The bird was coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. I love these three colours together!
For both cards, the embossing folders used on the top layer of Basic White Cardstock are from the Basics embossing folders, an online only exclusive that has three different folders.
And the fronds behind the bird are die cut using the Textured Floral dies.
For card two I’ve coloured the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper using my light Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blend and used another design from the Pumpkin Pie DSP in the Brights Designer Series Paper collection.
This bird was also coloured in using light and dark Tahitian Tide, Pumpkin Pie and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends.
This bird is sitting on a frond from the Textured Floral dies.
Balmy Blue Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins, Pumpkin Pie Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and a simple bow of linen thread complete each card.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Christine Blain – I can’t wait to see what Christine has made this week!

We’ll be back next Wednesday, 1st May, when the new 2024-25 Annual Catalogue goes live. Our first colour for the AWH Colour Creations 2024-25 blog is Peach Pie, one of the new InColors.
Welcome to week forty-four of our Art With Heart 2023-24 Colour Creations blog hop!
Our colour this week is Real Red, a true red from the brights colour family colour.
I’m using the Classic Letters stamp set for my quick and easy card this week. The Classic Letters stamp set is a fabulous alphabet and number set that is one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusive products. I love the greenery flourishes that can be added to any of the letters or numbers.
I was hoping to achieve a slightly vintage vibe with my Real Red, Petal Pink and Tahitian Tide colour combination. Does this colour combination give you vintage vibes?
The gorgeous spotted Petal Pink DSP is from another online exclusive product – the Flowering Zinnias 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper.
The slimline shape of my card was dictated by the finished size and shape of the my stamped “Hello”. I then stamped greenery flourishes in Tahitian Tide before adding dots of Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics lacquer in Real Red.
It’s hard to photograph the shine and dimension of the Pearlised Enamel Effects Basics – a side on view gives a better idea of what this card looks like in real life.
The Petal Pink flower embellishments are from the Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers and the Tahitian Tide Bakers twine comes from the 2022–2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack.
All of the 2022–2024 In Color products (including Tahitian Tide) are about to retire so stock up now before they sell out!
I’m very excited to be heading to the Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention in Melbourne first thing tomorrow morning so hopefully by next Wednesday I’ll be able to share some of the brand new 2024-26 In Colours to share with you!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri. I can’t wait to see what Rachel has made this week!

Welcome to week five of our Art With Heart 2022-23 Colour Creations blog hop! We are showcasing each of the 5 new In Colours for the first 5 weeks before we then feature our core colours in alphabetical order.
Our fifth new In Colour is Tahitian Tide, a turquoise colour that has been missing from the Stampin’ Up! colour range. Here’s what Tahitian Tide looks like in comparison to the other current Stampin’ Up! blue, aqua and teal colours.
I’ve paired Tahitian Tide with my favourite neutral, Crumb Cake, for my 3D “Just a note” card. This card features lots of exciting new products, including the Bottled Happiness punch bundle, the Vintage bottle shaker domes, Deckled Rectangle Dies and 2022-2024 In Colour Glimmer Paper.
After I stamped the flowers I realised they were stamped on an angle that wouldn’t allow enough room for me to punch out the bottle shape underneath, so I punched my bottle out on an angle too. I often arrange flowers like this so I think it looks quite realistic!
I also used the Vintage bottle punch to punch out a bottle from the Tahitian Tide glimmer paper to look like the sparkle of water in the bottle. As the glimmer paper is an ombre paper, I chose the lighter section of the paper for the water. The glimmer bottle shape was popped inside a Vintage bottle shaker dome.
I added a tiny touch of sparkle to the centre of my flowers using a long die of circles from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies to cut tiny circles from the glimmer paper. I have now mislaid this die after just one use! I do hope it turns up soon.
The “Just a Note” sentiment has the most gorgeous font. It comes from a new sentiment stamp set called Go-To Greetings Stamp Set, designed by Sandi Hartka, one of the Million Dollar achievers.
This versatile sentiment set includes three different sizes and fonts of your most stamped greetings — Thinking of You, Just a Note, Thank You, and Happy Birthday – as well as a small Hello. I already know I’m going to use this must-have set so much!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Rachel Palmieri – I can’t wait to see what has made this week!
